Interesting news from the #premierleague regarding the #Everton Profit and Sustainability Rule (PSR) breach. An appeal panel upheld the breach and fundamental reasons for the breach but found that the initial commission panel erred by: 1 - Aggravating the initial sanction by finding that Everton failed to engage in 'utmost good faith' (as required by FAPL Rules). The Panel felt that the initial submission by Everton was akin to an innocent mistake rather than being deliberately misleading. 2 - Not considering the EFL sanction guidelines for PSR breaches and benchmarking the sanction against those guidelines when considering the proportionality of the initial sanction. As a result, this brought the initial 10-point penalty down to 6 points, and gives Everton a little more breathing space at the bottom of the FAPL table. This now creates a form of precedent for how the Nottingham Forest case will be assessed and will expect their sanction to follow that imposed on Everton broadly. #Football #sportslaw

In honor of Golfer's Day tomorrow and The Masters this weekend.... The Masters golf tournament and successful investing may seem like two completely different worlds, but they share many similarities in terms of tradition. Both have established practices that have stood the test of time, and both require a combination of skill, strategy, and patience to succeed. Let’s take a closer look at the traditions of the Masters golf tournament and how they compare to the traditions of successful investors. https://hubs.ly/Q02r44K80 #TheMasters #Investing #WitekWealthManagement

Golf and investing both require consistency, patience, and resilience. Just like navigating the golf course, financial planning helps guide us through market highs and lows. With a long term focus, we can embrace the journey and celebrate the wins, according to #TeamRBC golfer Adam Hadwin. #AdamHadwin

The Club Licensing System for the Top Tier Men’s National Club Competition season 2024/25 has officially been launched by CAF, focusing on the implementation of domestic club licensing criteria for the men's top tier national club competition of the 54 member associations in line with article 64 of the CAF Men´s Club Licensing Regulations (edition 2022). The use of the CAF Club Licensing Online Platform (CLOP) for managing the licensing procedure, specifically for clubs involved in the top-tier men's national competition is now mandatory. This measure is part of a medium-term process to elevate and improve domestic club football competitions in the 54 CAF member associations. https://lnkd.in/dxrBEGCp

Recently came across a new type of Pitch called the "Juego de Posición" which is essentially a concept where the offense is given a set of guidelines to play within a structured scheme. The playing field is divided into specific zones with four vertical lines and some horizontal lines. This strategy is often associated with teams coached by managers like Johan Cruyff, Pep Guardiola, and Marcelo Bielsa. The players will have specific tasks and responsibilities within these zones depending on the phase of the game. The unique thing about this concept is that the options are predetermined by the position of the ball. If the ball is on the left wing at midfield, then the zones that must be occupied are entirely different than when the ball is on the right half of your own 18 yard box. Learning about this approach, I thought it would be interesting to see how teams in the recent Euros campaign carried out their pressure events across the pitch. And not surprisingly as we witnessed throughout the tournament, teams like Spain , Germany and Portugal pressed their opponents very high up the pitch in the attacking third whereas teams like Italy,France and England pressed their opposition mostly in the midfield area. We can use this pitch for more such event types like ball recoveries , dribbles, shots and duels to analyze on which parts of the pitch were the players carrying out (or were instructed to) these actions the most or the least.
